Retirement and being physically and mentally capable of enjoying it is the upcoming phase of my life on the horizon. As we all do, I want to retire financially independent and comfortable. Independent of the government and the associated B.S that comes with taking the pension. You hand your life over to them in exchange for money that provides a basic standard of living. Rules and regulation. Can do’s and can’t do’s. No thank you.

So hence the title of this post. I need to squirrel away more assets to provide an ongoing income when I retire. I start a new job next week and plan to really push on the accelerator.

The position is Sales Coordinator with a large Australian company. I’m really looking forward to sinking my teeth into something new and exciting.
